Could this also double as a trivet for hot pans (if clean of course), or would it kinda "squish" down?

I sometimes do use it for that. It's pretty strong and doesn't squish down, as far as I can tell.

I don't think this is designed to hold things like sheet pans. The sides are wide open and the pans would just fall to one side. The shelf is perfect for the things shown in the illustration.

Yes, I think it would because you can take off the 3 compartments and use the bottom as a warming tray.

If a dish is hot, such a fresh cup of coffee or bowl of soup, large casserole, etc., put a trivet or coaster or place mat under it. The plastic will wrinkle if extremely hot items come in contact with it, and I have no idea how badly the plastic would/could be damaged if it was left there. I have had no damage from hot items on the plastic, but I was already in the habit of putting something under anything hot.

I would think so. It holds the hot pan completely away from the table surface. Also silicon shouldn't transmut the heat thru so it would be fine iny opinion.

it doesn't work very well with woks because of its curvature. you won't be able to fix it to the side. the same applies to all saucepans that are not straight, even a small curvature will make it difficult. it works great with different heights.

This is a floor mat ---- and good sized ---- but it does have a material backing so even if you wanted to use it as a trivet --- i would not recommend it.

It's 7" square. I suppose it can be used as a trivet to put hot dishes on, but it's bendable rubber, so I'm not sure you would typically use it for that. It's really for grabbing hot pots or oven racks, etc.

It's best for 'lighter' items like cups and plates. I wouldn't recommend it for heavier pots and pans. It's looks smaller in person than in the pictures. If you have a lighter set of pots/pans it may work...but nothing like stew pots or cast iron. Other than that it's a nice little rack. We use it mostly for cups and plastics/Rubbermaid.

Yes but not like it was made for it. The one I use doesnt sit down completely on the pan however it fits well enough to not make a mess

You would probably need to stuff something like a towel behind it so it wouldn't rattle around.

Yes, it has been sturdy enough for my stainless steel pots and pans without any problems. You will want side support for frying pans. Usually I'll prop a plate up, then the frying pan next to it. It is a good little rack.

My guess based on my own experince is that if it would stay flat when it gets hot then it would. The problem I had was that when heated it warps causing the pan to become unstable.

Yes. think of it as a standard cooling rack, but form fitted to the shape of the pans and with "handles" so you can lift it out easily, even if fully loaded.

This is a cooling rack, so it isn't specifically designed to go into another pan, though it will fit as others have described. We found that the grid is very hard to clean if used for baking or roasting. It works very well for cooling since the grid is close together. Things don't tend to fall through while cooling. For using in a jelly roll or roaster, the non-stick racks seem to work much better, especially if oiled first.

No. The pan you get is rectangular. I believe the opening will be too small
